Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 139 The Gains of the Two Clones

Soon, Zhou Yu himself and Ji Ning also underwent the test.

Because the two proposed different conditions, the tests they underwent were also different. Zhou Yu's test was to break the formation. The three-eyed puppet took Zhou Yu to a complex formation composed of countless large formations.

Within a year, he must break through at least ninety-nine arrays to gain the qualification to view the array inheritance of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord.

Zhou Yu ultimately broke through 467 formations, thus passing the test.

Ji Ning, on the other hand, also faced a test of combat. He had to fight and kill some puppets and persevere for a certain period of time to pass the test.

Although Ji Ning was only an Ancestral God, he was extremely powerful, nearly at the Perfect World Realm. In addition, the Myriad Gods Dao Lord was not particularly skilled in swordsmanship, so the Three-Eyed Puppet believed that the Myriad Gods Palace would not be of much help to Ji Ning, and therefore did not set any difficult tests for him.

Therefore, Ji Ning passed the test with almost no difficulty.

"It's been a long time since we've seen cultivators like the three of you," the three-eyed puppet said with a smile, pointing to the main gate of the Pantheon behind him.

Rumble!
With a loud rumble, the majestic gates of the mansion, which had been closed for who knows how long, slowly opened.

"Let's go."

Without hesitation, the three of them stepped inside.

Upon entering, Zhou Yu felt a shift in space and time, and his true self and You Cang's clone separated.

You Cang's clone was teleported to a corridor, where a barefoot woman materialized in front of him.

"I am the spirit of the Pantheon Grand Array," the woman said with a smile.

"Immortal Youcang, please follow me."

Zhou Yu naturally had no objection to this, but the appearance of this array spirit made him realize that the array mastery of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord was indeed terrifying.

Magical artifacts are relatively easy to generate a spirit, but for an array to generate a spirit of the array's way, it is much more difficult, countless times more difficult.

Zhou Yu, having studied the Dao of Arrays, naturally understood this point.

As Zhou Yu pondered this, he followed the woman in front of him to a side hall. In the center of the side hall was a stone platform, and on the stone platform was a green crystal ball.

“This is the blood of the eternal gods,” the woman said.

"Eternal Divine Blood?" Zhou Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"The seven World Realm experts you killed before came for the Eternal Divine Blood. Unfortunately, their identities were unknown, and their goals were too clear. We were reluctant to hand over the Eternal Divine Blood to them. On the contrary, you are completely trustworthy," the woman explained.

For someone as extraordinary as Zhou Yu at the World Realm, the Eternal Clan would never allow him to venture into the depths of the cultivators' territory, especially in the Great Mo Domain, where there is also a Great Mo Dao Lord skilled in deduction.

“You’ve come seeking treasure, and this drop of Eternal Divine Blood, in terms of value alone, ranks among the top in the Pantheon. You can sell this Eternal Divine Blood to Daoist Da Mo, and you should be able to obtain two to three million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid,” the woman added.

"Ah."

Zhou Yu nodded.

The Great Dao Lord's character is reliable; even the array spirits of the Myriad Gods Palace acknowledge him, demonstrating his widespread reputation. Selling the heaven-defying treasure to the Great Dao Lord is indeed an excellent choice.

"However, before I give you the Eternal Divine Blood, you must also make a life-bound oath," the woman said again.

"I see."

Zhou Yu nodded naturally.

The reason why the God of All Gods went to such lengths to make these arrangements was also for a purpose: to seek revenge against the "Emperor Meloppo" of the Eternal Clan.

Emperor Melobo devoured the Daoist Lord of Ten Thousand Gods' partner, causing the Daoist Lord of Ten Thousand Gods to relentlessly pursue him. This drop of eternal divine blood originated from Emperor Melobo.

Unfortunately, Emperor Melop was no ordinary Eternal Emperor. Even though the God of Ten Thousand Gods Dao Lord was extremely powerful, he could not kill him.

After the death of the God of All Gods, he invested in many cultivators in order to continue what he had not been able to do: to kill Emperor Meloppo.

Unfortunately, no one has managed to do it yet.

Zhou Yu already knew this and was mentally prepared for it. The reason he still chose to come here was because the oath of destiny required by the Myriad Gods Dao Lord was extremely lenient.

After Zhou Yu made his life vow, he nodded secretly.

This oath only requires that one act only when there is sufficient strength and opportunity, and if Emperor Melopó is already dead, the oath will automatically lose its effect, which is indeed quite lenient.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu make his life vow, a smile appeared on the woman's face.

Of the three people who came here, all of them were geniuses, but this "Immortal of Azure Sky" was undoubtedly the one with the greatest potential. In terms of cultivation level, she was only one step away from her master's World Realm cultivation level.

If this "Immortal of Azure Sky" breaks through at this time and successfully merges with the Dao in the future, then he will have the strength to kill Emperor Melobo.

In comparison, while the God of the Qianyu World is not bad, he is still a notch below, and the Ancestral God Beiming's future is even more uncertain.

"Immortal You Cang, you didn't seek the Dao like your two companions, so have you already received a master?" the girl suddenly asked.

"I guess so," Zhou Yu nodded.

“Even if you have a master, the teachings of other powerful figures will definitely be helpful to you.” As the girl spoke, she took out a golden token.

"This is?"

"It's a spacetime token that my master obtained by chance. If you activate it in certain territories, you can enter a special world. My master said that the world contains the Dao of a powerful being who is extremely skilled in spacetime." The girl explained simply, and Zhou Yu was also surprised. He didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

To be called a great master of the Time and Space Dao by the Lord of Ten Thousand Gods, one's Time and Space Dao should at least be at the level of the Lord of the Holy City, which is the level of the Star Lord who destroyed the Divine Court.

"Which territories are included?" Zhou Yu asked.

“There are plenty. You just need to leave the Great Mo Domain and venture out into the world. You can easily sense places that meet the requirements,” the girl said.

"I see."

Zhou Yu understood; the Time-Space Token must have a teleportation range, and only by stepping into the corresponding range could one be teleported to the destination.

"This Time-Space Token can be used three times, but my master has already used it once, so you only have two chances left," the girl reminded her again.

"clear."

Zhou Yu nodded again.

. . .

the other side--

Zhou Yu himself also saw the array spirit in the form of a young girl, and under her guidance, he arrived at a grand hall.

"Do you know what my master's most proficient method is?" the girl asked.

“It’s the Nine Great Secret Techniques,” Zhou Yu said.

Legend has it that this is an extremely terrifying domain technique, and the fact that the Myriad Gods Dao Lord was able to defeat Emperor Melobo was largely due to this domain.

"The array-building legacy left by my master involves nine complete secret techniques. These nine secret techniques are extremely precious and valuable; not everyone is qualified to learn them! Fortunately, you broke 467 arrays before, so you are qualified to learn this complete legacy," the girl said.
"Furthermore, my master also had a fortuitous encounter when he embarked on the path of array formations, and obtained an array formation statue. You can also study it, but how much you can comprehend depends on your own abilities." "Alright."

Zhou Yu nodded.

Soon, the girl obtained the complete inheritance. After Zhou Yu made a vow not to reveal it, information about many secret techniques quickly appeared in his mind.

There are nine volumes of secret techniques: Nine Sources of Divine Thunder, Nine Sources of Divine Water, Nine Sources of Divine Fire, Nine Sources of Divine Wood, Nine Sources of Thick Earth, Nine Sources of Profound Metal, Nine Sources of Divine Wind, Nine Sources of Divine Light, and Nine Sources of Void.

Each volume, taken alone, is an extraordinary domain secret technique; when all nine volumes are combined, their power is even more exaggerated.

In terms of value, these nine volumes of secret techniques are terrifyingly valuable. If one were to learn them within the Dao Alliance, it would require more than ten million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

It can be said that the value of these nine volumes of secret techniques alone far exceeds that of the Eternal Divine Blood.

If Zhou Yu's Cang clone hadn't obtained a Time-Space Token, its gains might not have been as great as his original self.

Of course, it's also possible that the spirit of the Myriad Gods Palace felt it was too unfair to give Zhou Yu's Cang clone only a drop of Eternal Divine Blood, so it gave him a Time-Space Token as well.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had no time to worry about the power of the Nine Sources Secret Technique; his mind was preoccupied with the mysteries of "Array Dao."

"So that's how it is. The reason why the 'Nine Origins Secret Technique' of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord is so powerful is because after he unleashed nine domains, he used the Dao of Arrays to combine them." Zhou Yu quickly understood.

Even if others only mastered the Nine Source Secret Techniques, they might not be as powerful as the Myriad Gods Dao Lord, because the Myriad Gods Dao Lord's nine secret techniques, in addition to their own power, are also combined with formations.

Other cultivators, such as those skilled in swordsmanship, can also unleash the power of the nine secret techniques with their swordsmanship, but ultimately it is not as good as combining them with formations.

“One of the paths of array formation followed by the Myriad Gods Dao Lord is the path of combining different powers,” Zhou Yu understood.

Among the several paths of array formation that Zhou Yu explored, besides the path of invoking power, which he was most proficient in, the path of mastering array formation techniques, the path of combining different powers was also one of them.

Formations are best at combining different forces.

The more power a formation combines, the stronger it becomes.

The Myriad Gods Dao Lord can combine nine incredibly terrifying secret techniques into a complete grand formation, which is naturally extremely formidable, making it the most powerful among those of the same level.

Emperor Melopo was theoretically on the same level as the God of Gods, and as an Eternal Emperor, he lived longer and had accumulated more profound knowledge. Yet, he was no match for the God of Gods at all, which shows how terrifying these nine secret techniques were.

“Take another look at that statue.”

Zhou Yu arrived in front of a black statue that was about ten thousand feet tall. The statue was a complete whole, crystal clear and without a single flaw.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yu discovered countless silk threads inside the statue, which intertwined to resemble arrays.

“The God of Ten Thousand Gods is undoubtedly extremely talented in the art of array formations, but his achievements are inseparable from this statue,” Zhou Yu pondered, also quite looking forward to it.

As Zhou Yu immersed himself in the threads within the statue, he was quickly shocked to discover different array paths within it.

The path of array formations that he had summarized after studying a large number of array formation inheritances can now be seen almost entirely in this statue.

“Only the ‘immortal path’ is missing.” Zhou Yu pondered to himself, becoming increasingly focused on his contemplation of the statue.

Zhou Yu sat cross-legged in the time-accelerating treasure, maintaining a hundredfold acceleration. He rapidly comprehended the array principles in the Myriad Gods Dao Lord's secret technique and the array principles in the statue, and then integrated them into his own array principles.

Having experienced the Myriad Paths Mountain, Zhou Yu naturally understood that to forge the strongest path, one could not become too immersed in the path of a powerful being; one had to completely follow one's own path.

Therefore, even though the Nine Great Secret Techniques of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord are extremely terrifying, Zhou Yu is only absorbing their mysteries at this moment.

The clock is ticking.

More than three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous suction force was generated within the Pantheon, and a massive amount of chaotic power surged into the Pantheon.

This is clearly a scene of someone achieving world-class status.

It was quite some time before the huge commotion finally stopped.

Not long after, Ji Ning walked out of the Pantheon with a smile on his face.

This was a tremendous gain. Observing the Dao of more than five thousand World Realm Perfection experts laid a solid foundation for him, allowing him to easily break through to the World Realm.

In addition, the spirit of the Pantheon also gave him many treasures, making him rich overnight.

"Grandmaster Youcang".

Ji Ning quickly noticed a figure sitting cross-legged in the distance, and he walked over quickly.

“Ji Ning, it really was you who broke through just now.” Zhou Yu opened his eyes and said with a smile.

"I gained a lot from this trip to the Pantheon." Ji Ning nodded. Being able to come to the Pantheon and pass the test was indeed a great opportunity for a cultivator.

"Grandmaster Youcang, my master hasn't come out yet?" Ji Ning asked.

"No, but it should be soon." Zhou Yu didn't say much. He then waved his hand and tossed a storage treasure to Ji Ning.

"What is this?" Ji Ning asked, puzzled.

He took a quick look and was immediately shocked to find that they were "Purple Light Jade", and there were five of them.

It should be noted that the greatest treasure left behind by the Northern World God was a Purple Light Jade Sword, which was still broken, but now five of them have suddenly appeared.

“I also made some gains in the Pantheon, which I collected with the help of Daoist Da Mo,” Zhou Yu said.

In the past three thousand years, his Cang clone has returned to the Great Mo Domain once. After selling the Eternal Divine Blood to the Great Mo Dao Lord, he also purchased many treasures.

“Grandmaster Youcang, my Ziguang Qiong is no ordinary eternal divine weapon. I still need to collect five more. This…” Ji Ning felt that this gift was too heavy.

An ordinary eternal divine weapon requires only 10,000 cubic meters of chaotic spiritual liquid, but the Purple Light Jade is a mid-grade eternal divine weapon. In addition, five Purple Light Jades must be deliberately collected, so it is conceivable that the demand for chaotic spiritual liquid must be extremely large.

"This eternal divine weapon was bought at a premium, and only you can use it, so don't refuse," Zhou Yu said.
“There are only three of us in our lineage. I also bought some treasures for your master.”

"Thank you, Grandmaster Youcang." Ji Ning bowed and expressed his gratitude. He understood that there was no point in declining again at this point, so he would just keep it in mind.

Not long after Ji Ning left the Pantheon, about a hundred years later, Zhou Yu himself also emerged from it.

"Let's set off for the Celestial Realm."

At this moment, the group finally embarked on their journey to the Heavenly Azure Domain.

"Once we reach the Heavenly Azure Domain, we will be able to return to the Three Realms." Ji Ning said with great emotion.

He became an ancestral god a thousand years ago, and his avatars left in the Three Realms can only go to the Chaos to wait. Friends and relatives who want to see him can only go to the Chaos to see him.

Of course, the inability to enter the Three Realms for only three thousand years is not a long time. Even though Ji Ning's cultivation time is short, he doesn't feel anything. Moreover, they should be able to reach the Heavenly Azure Palace soon and release their life vows.
P.S.: It's getting late, sorry. There will be another update later.
